Wonderful Black Watchday shave with my first (of two) Iwasaki Tamahagane razors.

SOTD pics are back ๐
Black Watch day++;
I'll be wrapping up a very busy time mid-month and plan to do more SOTD pics.
During this shave I was taken by how good Black Watch really is. Though all the Seaforth! scents are great, this one and Spiced really are my favorites.
๐ฏ % my favourite. As you say, there are a lot of winners in the line-up, but Black Watch has a special place IMO
I'm of a mind to trim my soap collection this year. I have so many soaps that are great but that fall in that (very wide) barbershop formula, and I have a fair amount of dupes. But if I do trim, Black Watch stays and eventually gets replaced.
